Harriet’s Roasted Rutabaga Breakfast

Our daughter just loves rutabaga.  Here is one of the ways we like to cook it.  So easy and delicious and makes great leftovers. 

Rutabaga, peeled well and cut into ¾” cubes
cooking oil
salt and pepper
thyme or other dried herb (optional)
more cooking oil (if re-heating)
eggs, cooked as desired (we like scrambled)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spread rutabaga on baking sheet.  Toss well to coat with oil, salt, pepper, and herb if using.  Roast until tender, stirring a couple of times, approx 45 min-1 hr.  Remove from oven and serve hot as a side dish with sour cream and/or ketchup.  Or put in fridge for breakfasts all week to accompany eggs cooked as desired.  To reheat rutabaga, heat oil in skillet.  Add rutabaga and sauté until warmed through.  Serve hot for breakfast!
